WINNNNN

thanks mate.

What lens was it? you got a wide-angle?#

would love a 10-20mm, but it would be used so little, compared to something like a 17-70mm IMO

sorry to go off-topic dude lol

 

[Damoegan]

I was using my Nikkor AF-S 18-105mm f3.5 - f5.6. Its a lovely lens

Would also love a 10/12-20mm

Mate I'm still thinking about your gauge. How hard was it to plumb from the cabin to the engine bay through the vent? The electrics are pretty straight forward bur is it a time consuming mod? Cheers

 

[Damoegan]

Its mutch easier than you think, Jas.

On the mk5 Golf, mk2 Leon & 8P A3/S3 there is a large grommet behind the battery that comes out in the passenger footwell. Once in the passenger footwell there are just a few trim pannels to remove to get to where you need to be.

That does sound easy, I want to install mine in the middle circular vent so will need to have a look how the panels in the car come off.

Btw have you got any vids of your gauge in action at all? It does the needle sweep etc right?

 

[Damoegan]

No vids mate but, yes, it does the needl sweep..

Actualy, here's a vid of the gauge that I had in the Ibiza (same gauge that I now have just different colour & branding on it)..

 

[Poverty]

Thanks, I really like that, does everything come with the gauge for fitting?

 

[Damoegan]

Yep, everything included mate

Damo, it wasn't you I spotted on the Stockport pyramid roundabout the other day, getting cut up by a Punto if I remember correctly (hence honking of the horn!)? It's just I saw an ED30 the same colour as yours etc.

I know you're a long way from Stockport though.

 

[Damoegan]

Stockport!! Not me dude

 

[Blanco92]

There goes my hopes of seeing my first fellow SCN member

Can I be a cheeky git Damo, and ask you the paint code of your car? I quite fancy refurbing my wheels in the body colour of your car.

I'll try and get the paint code for you on Sunday bud..

Was the punto yellow with yellow rim tape by any chance Blanco? Sorry off topic.. But a n0b in a yellow punto keeps cutting me up on that roundabout!!

 

[Blanco92]

No Jordan, t'was a bog standard metallic blue one. That roundabout does seem to attract many muppets!

I think I've sorted the paint code by the way Damo, United Grey I believe the colour to be called.

No worries mate!

I think I definitely need to get reading up a bit on how to use my DSLR properly, some of the pictures you've got in this thread are excellent!

I remember you saying your clutch was slipping, have you replaced it yet? Which one you gone for or going for and how much did it cost you or going to cost? Replacing the flywheel?

 

[Damoegan]

Not replaced it as yet, Brad.

I'll most prob be going for the Sachs stage 1 with the standard flywheel Clicky. Cant realy justify the £1200 for the whole SMFW + stage 3 clutch
